Breathe

When I breathe in 
I feel your life
When I breathe out 
I feel the doubt


     Breathe in 
     Breath out


When I breathe in
I see your face
When I breathe out 
It’s somehow erased


     Breathe in 
     Breathe out

When I breathe in
I hear your name
When I breathe out
You never came


     Breathe in 
     Breathe out


When I breathe in
You warm my heart
When I breathe out
I know we’re apart


     Breathe in 
     Breathe out

 
When I breathe in 
You’re in my dreams
When I breathe out
You’re still gone, it seems


    Breathe in 
     Breathe out
       Breathe out
         Breathe out
